    I love the Cleveland CG reds, theyre player irons but theyre pretty forgiving. If you like to work it then forget about those irons, they stay pretty much straight. You should also look at Callaway X forged. Those are some sweet irons as well.

    An iron to consider would be the Titleist AP-2′s. The reason i say this iron is because it’ll play like a blade, but give you the forgiveness beneifts of some newer technology. They’re forged whcih will give you more playability then the AP-1′s, which are cast, but they shape and size of the iron give you more forgiveness than a traditional forged club. Many members of the Titleist tour staff (Adam Scott ex) use this iron. Only drawback is they’re quite pricey. Only tricky part is that at your age, you’ll probably continue to grow more, so it may be worth talking this point over with your club fitter, which you definitely need to do as with your skill level, you could certainly benefit from a fitting to help you maximize each & every shot you hit. Good luck!

    Well saingyou are 15 and shoot under par aren’t exactly “great tings” thatcould help someone find a good set. I know a few pros that like regular irons, or maybe even game improvement, just because they feel better then the other brand. Obviously, you are into golf for the long run, so it might be a great idea to spend a Sunday at a loal golf shop, and testing out clubs with the pro. Im sure the coach would understand, if that would be a problem. Get them custom fit, dont ask us. Just because you like the feel of a certain brands wedges, putters, woods,drivers, but that doesnt mean you should get the irons too. If the pro says r7′s, goes with r7′s. if he says victory red, go with those. Remember, they get paid to reconmend clubs, we don’t.

    Well first and foremost you always have to like the way the clubs look, and if you have any brand loyalty… looking at you bag I see that is a no. so where do we go from here. Do you like a Half cavity or a straight blade?

    Half Cavity’s are easier to come by and will give you the look and feel of the traditional blade’s with a bit of forgivness. My suggestion’s
    nike Victory Red half cavity, Clevland CG Gold, Titelest AP-2, Callaway X-Forged, Mizuno MP 62, Ping S57

    Traditional blades are the pain in your butt to hit, and in my opinion are now obsolete. why make the game harder than it already is. If you must here are the one’s I would suggest.
    Nike TW Victory Red Forged blades, Titleist ZB Irons, Callaway Prototype irons, Cobra Pro MB Forged Blades, Mizuno MP 67.

    Just remember that it is the shaft which makes the differance. If you come through with the same swing with any club that has the same loft, you will hit the same shot. you just have to find the club that you have confidence.

    good luck

    wow the first person and third person to answer this question are losers

    go to your local proshop and try them all out…. if youve tried blade and you like them than stick with them. brand names and cost mean nothing, if you find a set you like, you hit well and you feel comfortable addressing the ball with, then get those

    Well, there are several options: How much money are you willing to spend?

    Mizuno MP-67
    Nike Victory Red Blades
    Nike Forged Blades(older model that doesn’t cost as much as the VR’s)
    Mizuno MP-32

    Jimmy, The answer to this question lies within you……You are just going to have to do the homework and hit several brands to see what you really like and hit well…..there is no magic button you can push. Everybody here can tell you what has been good for them….will they be good for you? If you like blades then stick with blades. You are a multi sports person so you have learned how to allocate time….it is really this simple. Buy what you yourself like and hit well.
